What on earth is Sony thinking?

I cannot fathom what Sony is thinking. Apparently for the SECOND time, Sony has decided that their best new sensor(s) should be made available to Nikon (800) users months in advance of their own (Sony) users.

I consider my a900 the absolute bare minimum I need out of a sensor and have hoped for a bit more elbow room since day one. Sony has given that elbow room to Nikon users but not Sony users. Before I become even more heavily invested in Sony hardware it would appear to be a no-brainer to make the switch to Nikon since apparently Nikon users will always get preferential treatment over Sony users. I would get the sensor I need now instead of in (??? guess a month/year) and I'll get more respect from Sony.

Anyone see any flaw in this logic?
